Royal watchers: Trooping the Colour

[CheeringCharm]

Meghan and Kate both attended. It kind of looks like Meghan wore the same hat she wore to Charles' garden party.

First balcony pics:

If it isn’t the same hat, it’s almost identical.

It’s a good hat though. And I like this dress better.

Meghan’s look > Kate’s look

[bowies]

Meghan is just a stunningly beautiful woman.

God she (Meghan) is gorgeous. I know nothing about fashion but I like that color on her.

[aurora]

I like that neckline!

While I agree, Kate looks freaking good for having a 6 week old or however old the baby is

I wish hats were a thing here. I love hats.

This is a nice picture of Camilla, Kate, and Meghan talking and laughing together:

Cute picture of the kids, especially George.

[Bernadine]

I think both Megan and Kate look great.

I have spent more than a reasonable amount of time flipping back and forth between hat photos. I vote this one is different. The top part is more off-center and kind of has a more smooth transition to the brim than the other one. That one was more centered (albeit slightly) and had more of a pinch/crimp where it met the brim.

But agree. Good hats both of them.

[pixy0stix]

Maybe this will be her signature hat style, like Camilla seems to favor the gigantic full brim hats.

I agree. I wish the whole comparison of who looks better would stop. They have different roles in the family, as well as different styles.

On another note, I saw a picture on Twitter of Savannah Philips putting her hand over George’s mouth to shut him up during the national anthem. It is hilarious!

They also had the first Sikh guard and he was allowed to wear a turban. Of course racism ensued on Twitter. He looked amazing (on phone and can't post pics).

[notreal]

Zara looked about 20 years pregnant at the wedding. Did she have the baby yet?

[lilibet]

Meghan's hair and hat look amazing and that color is great on her. I really like Kate's dress. Camilla looks really good too.

It looked like Charlotte was in need of a nap, rubbing her eyes and crying a bit, but she perked up for the flyover. There were some cute photos of Kate comforting her.

I didn't see the posts about the guard but I ended up skimming over most of the tweets that weren't photos or official royal/royal reporter tweets because I couldn't take the snarky comments trying to pit Kate and Meghan against each other. It's been a rough week, let us enjoy this fun royal moment!

Here are some tweets that I thought were good:

Who is that next to William? I can't think of her name.

[mbcdefg]

Meghan’s garden party hat and Trooping hat are by Philip Tracey. So either the same one or the same designer.

Next to William is Zenouska Mowatt, granddaughter of Princess Alexandra (the Queen’s cousin).

[lilibet]

The Go Fug Yourself recap is really good. Sophie wore Emilia Wickstead which is surprising after Wickstead's meltdown/temper tantrum over Meghan's dress. Also, Sophie's dress is awful.

This shot is my favorite of the day:

[claudiajean]

lilibet Charlotte fell and hit her head/face on the ledge. Poor thing.

[bex]

I think Meghan looks great. Some people are freaking out over her bare arms AND shoulders but whatever. She looks good.

I think Kate looks good too. Boring, but again whatever lol. I actually like her hat which is getting negative reviews on WKW lol.

[elleblue]

Did you all see this pic? Everyone watched the flyover while Harry watched Meghan.

That looks way more badass than those fluffy hats.

Okay this is kind of melting me. We have a similar picture where everyone is looking up at fireworks and my husband is watching me in a similar way. It’s one of my favorites.

Right? It actually makes me a little bit teary.

I love Meghan's face, that's got to be a mind-blowing experience and I bet Harry was so excited to watch that.

And she and Charlotte are having similar reactions. Lol
